Oh! I got chocolate there when I was in Paris in October and brought it to my friends' home as a hostess gift for their kind invitation to dinner for me and my children. The chocolate was lovely. The proprieters were lovely (an older man and woman). And yes, not a high end place. Just a pretty, little place.

Next time, stop in and get the chocolates. It's worth the moment. Bonnie

Oh dear, it's a bit too soon after the holidays to crave chocolate. This shop is lovely and I will keep the address for further reference for the next time I head up to Paris.Thanks for your delicious post!

How wonderful to be reminded of a Russian Blue cat that I had many many years ago. It did indeed have a blue or lavenderish sheen to its gray fur. Russian Blues tend to become attached to one particular person in a household, and "Mouse" was very upset when I went to the hospital in labor. She paced around the house until my husband brought back my pillow; then she went to sleep on the pillow. But she was even more upset when I came through the door carrying an infant! Poor old Mouse! We have all loved many pets since her demise. But we cannot get another cat while we have a collection of medieval porcelain. My daughter loved the story I told her about how Mouse knocked down a potted plant, dashed across the apartment in a flash, so that by the time the pot hit the floor, she had already composed herself, sitting with her back to the mess, and turned around as if to say, what was that? Don't you just love how amoral cats are?

I think Paris will run out of chocolate shops about the time we run out of interest... never! ;-) Love the logo, too. m...just as I was about to let go all the holiday chocolates...now one more piece....maybe two.

Bien sûr! See you Au Chat Bleu. A demain? This will be a nice sweet destination for me tomorrow. About a 25 min walk from our apartment, or if the weather is like it was a few days ago, it Bus ligne 84 for me!

Oh YUK a cat in a shop window. I have a friend with 6 cats and I spend all my time standing up in her house because I don't like them jumping on me. Sorry just not a cat lover but love that chocolat shop :)

This is probably the best chocolate place, not just in Paris but in whole France, believe me. I've been hooked on it as a kid at the original store in Le Touquet, a french seaside town in Pas de Calais region.Every time I go back home (Paris) i have to go get my fix of Chat bleu treats and bring some back with me to the states. Got quite a few Americans hooked too.I'm so sorry you missed out trying these yummy bites of happiness. I've got to go back. The Chat Bleu is the only excuse you need.Enjoy

Ahhhh...my very dear friend shops Au Chat Bleu for my (very welcomed) Christmas presents, each year. He gets me two standards (chocolate sauce and confiture de framboises) and a surprise...This year was tomates vertes (awesome on a burger)...last year, pear and walnut (mmmm) and the year before, Rose (to me even MORE romantic than the flowers)...

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Savor Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
